<P> Settings are special configurations placed at the source document's
 Config Area that can affect the conversion process. The Settings are
 all optional. The average user can live fine without them. But they are
 addictive, if you start using them, you'll never stop :)</P>
<P> Setting lines are<I> special comment lines</I>, marked by a leading
 identifier (&quot;!&quot;) that makes them different from plain comments. The
 syntax is just as simple as variable setting, composed by a keyword and
 a value, separated from each by a colon (&quot;:&quot;).</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><B> %! keyword : value</B></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P> Syntax details:</P>
<UL>
<LI>The exclamation mark must be placed together with the comment char
 (%!), no spaces between them.
<P></P>
</LI>
<LI>The spaces around the keyword and the separator are optional.
<P></P>
</LI>
<LI>Keywords are case insensitive (case doesn't matter).</LI>
</UL>
<P> Rules:</P>
<UL>
<LI>Settings are valid only inside the Config Area, and are considered
 plain comments if found on the document Body.
<P></P>
</LI>
<LI>If the same keyword appears more than one time on the Config Area,
 the last found will be the one used. Exception: options, preproc and
 postproc, which are cumulative.
<P></P>
</LI>
<LI>A setting line with an invalid keyword will be considered a plain
 comment line.
<P></P>
</LI>
<LI>This settings have precedence over RC file, but not on command line
 options.</LI>
